During assembly, Mrs. Avinel Newball-Smith, Principal, Cleveland Eneas Primary School, reminds students that there will be activities on campus, throughout the day, to celebrate literacy, including Reading in the Garden, Sip and Read, and Drop Everything and Read.
INTERNATIONAL Literacy Day was held on Friday, and to mark the occasion, a number of events were held in The Bahamas to encourage children’s love of reading.
At Cleveland Eneas Primary School, activities included reading in the garden, sip and read, and drop everything and read, with some children also taking part in a poetry recital.
Senator Maxine Seymour was the guest speaker for the literacy assembly, and she was also a guest at Sadie Curtis Primary School where she read a book to students. She also thanked administrators and literacy coordinators at both schools.
The senator was also in attendance at a pop-up library event in Andros at the monthly Reading in the Park event on Lovely Park.
The event is organised by sixth grader Lavaria Storr, with students reciting a reading oath as community leaders read aloud, educational games are played and treats are distributed. Children return and borrow books during the event.
Donations of new or preowned books are welcome, along with snacks. Senator Seymour made a donation to the library during her visit.
